The Dollar Shave Club Review

Dollar Shave
Club

So we have
all seen the funny commercials for the Dollar Shave Club, and if you are like me I wondered how well the blades perform and how
the whole thing works. There are three (3) different packages you can choose
from. The $1, $6 and the $9, each one offers something a little different from
the other. When you first sign up you will receive a handle for whichever
package you chose.

$1.00 Package

This is for the “basic shaver” according to the website. It comes with 2-blade stainless steel blades, 5 cartridges a month. This package does not include
shipping and handling. On a side note I did not try this package so I do not
know how well the blades perform.

$6.00 Package

I received this package and I felt like it was comparable to any razor
you can pick up at your local grocery store or Walgreens/CVS. This package
comes with 4-blade stainless steel blades and 4 cartridges per month. I compared this
to the Mach 3 razor, an every day razor that won’t let you down. Shipping and
handling is included with this option.

$9.00 Package

They call this “the Executive” since it is like a personal assistant for
your face. It comes with six-blade stainless steel blades, 4 cartridges per month
and on the backside of the razor there is a single blade trimmer. When you
first sign up for this one it comes with a very nice, somewhat hefty, handle that
provides extra control and precision while shaving. Shipping and handling is
also included.

ADD-ONS

Once you select your package there are a few add-ons that will show up
for you to try. There is Dr. Carver’s easy Shave Butter and One Wipe Charlies. Both
of these were sent to me to try and I will say, who doesn’t love a clean
bum? The first time I used the wipes I was a little shocked by the tingly
feeling you get from the peppermint. After you know what to expect they are
quite enjoyable and work great. As for the shave butter, I have sensitive skin
so this did not provide the glide that I need when using a shaving product. I
did, however, talk to someone I know that uses the dollar shave club and they
felt it worked well for them.

Where to buy

Final Re-cap

Final
Thoughts

This is a great deal for the price! The razors I used were the 6 and 9
dollar ones and I would recommend and purchase either of these two packages. I
did prefer the weight of the 9 dollar razor and having the trimmer on the back
is a great bonus, especially if you have facial hair to maintain. This set of razors provided a close shave without any real
razor rash to speak of. I used this razor 5 times and it was still sharp.

The 6
dollar package was a great deal, too; the razor did not cause me to have any
real razor rash and the blade was still sharp after a few times of use. I did
use a different shaving cream while trying out these razors since the shave
butter did not work great for me. To sign up you can go right to the Dollar Shave Club website and select your razor package and then it ships right to your door. Very convenient if you ask me since I am one of those people that goes out to the store and always forget to grab razors.
